I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Jiang He did not open her eyes until the deafening thunder roared down.

A blue light flashed in her eyes, followed closely by a thick, long bolt of lightning.

When she actually saw the lightning strike her, all her distracting thoughts vanished in that instant.

Jiang He raised her hand and let the lightning strike her body. Even though she was in the sword arena, the sword intent around her did not recede.

The lightning tribulation was mixed with sword light, which terrified Ma Qian.

He had no right to interfere with the tribulation of lightning.

Everyone gathered outside the sword arena, whether freshmen or sophomores, saw the lightning beneath the blue light.

Linghu Yan looked at the coarse thunder and muttered:

"It really is a tribulation of lightning. Someone in the sword arena has actually advanced to the Golden Core stage."

"But speaking of which, this lightning tribulation is really thick."

Linghu Yan was shocked as he watched the lightning tribulations strike one after another. Some students who were watching the spectacle outside even took out their personal computers or time-travel stones to take pictures.

Soon after, new students began posting on the Wanjue Academy's online forum:

[Breaking news: A Foundation Establishment junior is undergoing her tribulation in the sword arena]

[2L: Wait, OP, how bored are you to even make a post about this?]

3L: Are you a freshman? It feels like our academy is falling behind. This year they're even accepting Foundation Establishment cultivators. When did the academy become so destitute? The trend of lower-level student intake is so obvious.

33L: On site, don't be misled by the original poster. This is not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. He is the only top scorer in the college entrance examination from a state that the academy has admitted this year.

34L: Top scorer in the college entrance exam? Jiang He? I think I vaguely remember her, Jiang He, right?

55L: Jiang He? She's at the Foundation Establishment stage? The top scorer in the national college entrance examination is at the Foundation Establishment stage? These words together sound so surreal.

56L: Wait a minute, I think everyone should watch the video. I feel the focus of the video is "Sword Arena" and "Lightning Tribulation." Shouldn't we be paying attention to whether someone is undergoing Lightning Tribulation in the Sword Arena, or whether someone dares to undergo Lightning Tribulation in the Sword Arena?

145L: Holy crap, I saw it! This year's freshmen are so brave, actually undergoing tribulation in the sword arena! No, is she trying to die?

153L: I remember that undergoing a tribulation of lightning requires a relatively safe environment. Doesn't the textbook say that you need to assess whether the surrounding environment is safe?

189L: If I remember correctly, even the first level of the Sword Arena has a hundred sword intents. With those hundred sword intents plus the lightning tribulation, can Jiang He still leave the Sword Arena alive?

206L: Let me interject, but something feels off. Is this really the tribulation lightning for a Foundation Establishment cultivator ascending to Golden Core? It's so thick!

Looking at the tribulation lightning outside the sword arena, the post that the second-year cultivator had casually made suddenly saw a surge in clicks and comments in less than ten minutes, especially regarding the tribulation in the sword arena.

This kind of unreasonable incident, coupled with Jiang He's reputation, is too easy to attract widespread attention.

Jiang He noticed that Ma Qian, Bai Zhizhou, and others were standing around her, but at this moment, Jiang He couldn't be distracted by the people next to her.

She faced the lightning tribulation head-on, and when the lightning, as thick as a forearm, arrived, Jiang He's skin from head to toe reacted.

As lightning struck her, Jiang He immediately felt an immense surge of lightning spiritual power coursing through her body from the inside out.

The immense power of the lightning tribulation instantly overwhelmed Jiang He's body, repeatedly impacting her soul and form.

The pungent, acrid smell wafted over, and Jiang He knew the power of the lightning tribulation without even opening her eyes.

To advance from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage, one must undergo seven tribulations of lightning.

With each lightning strike, Jiang He felt as if her body and soul were being hammered a thousand times.

She sat cross-legged on the ground, her lips turning white from the double tempering brought by the lightning tribulation.

Jiang He closed her eyes slightly.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the clouds in this area of ​​the sky became terrifyingly thick.

The sky was overcast, and Ma Qian sighed as he looked at Jiang He, who was completely pale.

Jiang He's body is far inferior to that of cultivators of the same level, so she will face even more challenges in enduring these seven lightning tribulations.

Bai Zhizhou watched the lightning tribulation accelerate, his hands hanging at his sides.

Jiang He was still facing the tribulation lightning in the center of the sword arena, and the cultivators near the sword arena all stopped to watch.

The tribulation that Jiang He was undergoing was different from ordinary tribulations. Not only were the clouds thick, but the lightning itself was also much thicker.

This strange phenomenon attracted many students from Wanjue Academy to take out their personal computers to record it. Some students who saw the post on the academy's online forum even came to the scene, wanting to witness the advancement of this year's freshmen.

Jiang He endured the tempering of the lightning tribulation. After about 15 minutes, all seven lightning tribulations ended.

A perfectly round, solid elixir appeared within his body.

After completing the Core Formation, Jiang He was able to instantly sense the existence of the elements of heaven and earth. This perception was more sensitive and broader than that of sensing a single element during the Foundation Establishment stage.

The internal and external injuries caused by the sword intent over the past two months have long since healed. As her five senses have improved, Jiang He has also discovered that her spiritual meridians have strengthened, allowing her to store much more spiritual energy.

It's not even in the same league as the Foundation Establishment stage.

Jiang He didn't rush to get up. While sensing the changes inside her body, she suddenly discovered that the spiritual veins containing her thunder and wind spiritual roots, which had never been very large before, had expanded considerably.

At the center of the Thunder and Wind Spiritual Root, another spiritual vein has been added.

Jiang He looked at the extra spiritual veins and was speechless with frustration.

Jiang He didn't know what kind of spiritual root she had, but the fact was that her cultivation speed had to continue to slow down.

Considering the convenience brought by the special spiritual root, Jiang He temporarily chose to forgive. Anyway, they were already useless, so it wouldn't be a big problem if they were even more useless.

Since undergoing the tribulation of lightning, Jiang He vaguely felt that the strength of her soul had increased considerably.

She even sensed a connection to this world. When she first arrived in this world, Jiang He didn't have many attachments or realize her ties to it.

The arrival of the tribulation lightning increased the strength of her soul, and Jiang He could vaguely sense a thread binding her to this world.

Jiang He didn't dislike this feeling.

She smoothed her slightly scorched hair ends. Her once shoulder-length hair was now uneven in length after the tribulation, with many strands broken in the middle, resembling the jagged fur of a black wolf's tail.

Jiang He shook her head before standing up. A considerable amount of sword intent surrounded her. She glanced at the few people protecting her and felt a pang of anxiety.

"I'm causing trouble for you."

"Not at all, I didn't cause any trouble."

Ma Qian patted Jiang He on the shoulder, smiling for the first time in front of these people:

"Well done."

Ma Qian, Bai Zhizhou, and Long Aotian have been guarding Jiang He all along.

Now that the competition is over, Jiang He and the others have left the sword arena.

Jiang He was unaware that news of her advancement had spread throughout the academy, and that the area outside the sword arena was packed with onlookers.

Jiang He followed the three people in front of her out of the sword arena. Bai Zhizhou always wore glasses, so others could not see his full face.

As Ma Qian and Long Aotian were talking, Jiang He, who was lagging behind, stepped out of the sword arena, and a murmur arose around her:

"Wow, our academy has such a stunning beauty?"

"??? Who is that wolf-tailed female cultivator at the end? I need all her information in three minutes!"
